Something new

As someone with no use for Elon Musk or his ilk, I've been thinking that there may come a time when I have to abandon Twitter. I'm not alone in having that premonition. But where's the alternative?

I looked at something called Mastodon, but it seemed too messy for me, at least at this stage of its development. Then somebody referred me to an outfit called Post, and I signed up for their waitlist. Just yesterday I was pulled off the list and invited to join. So there I am.

I must admit, I don't understand how the whole thing works. But on my first test drive, it looks and feels like Twitter, without being Twitter. Plus no Trumpy 'bots that I can see, at least not yet. So we'll see how it goes. It could be the future. Or not.

  1. Good on him for getting it done. Haters are gonna hate, but you do that deal 100 times out of 100.

    1. Why exactly? Do you think for even a split second if that was you or I in the same spot that we would have this kind of attention from the Biden administration?

      Trading a high-level black market international arms dealer for a person with a low-level drug possession conviction? Was John Kerry the negotiator here, because we got shafted in this “deal.”

    2. Blah blah blah, everything Biden does is wrong. Take it somewhere else, will ya? You guys have been in the minority since 2020. Turn off Fox News for half an hour and think about why.

    1. The left hates hate speech. As the hate mongers are pushed to the side, times are changing for the better.

  4. Folks, THIS IS NOT A POST ABOUT JOE BIDEN. He just happens to be in the image of the front page of Post at the moment I took a screenshot. Regurgitation of the Republican talking points about the prisoner exchange needs to go somewhere else. Thank you.

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
